The agenda encompassed the forthcoming action plan, budget
allocations from member nations, and the extension of the program's
international cooperation agreement until 2027, the Jordan News Agency, Petra
reported.
According to an official statement released by the HCST on
Sunday, the meeting culminated in the endorsement of three Jordanian research
initiatives focusing on agricultural systems, food, and their intersections.
These projects secured a total funding of one million euros for the 2023
research cycle within the PRIMA framework.
HCST Secretary-General, Mashhur Al-Rifai, underlined
Jordan's dedication to amplifying the involvement of its researchers within the
program. He emphasized the council's commitment, allocating approximately
400,000 euros per research cycle to support their research endeavors.
Rifai further accentuated the diverse spectrum of support
extended by the council to aspiring researchers keen on engaging with the PRIMA
initiative. This support is forged through collaborations with both public and
private universities, scientific research hubs, and the Scientific Research
Support Fund affiliated with the Ministry of
Higher Education and Scientific Research.
PRIMA stands as an internationally acclaimed program
fostering collaborative scientific research initiatives across member countries
from the northern and southern Mediterranean Basin, operating in partnership
with the European Union.
